FORMER LIONS defensive end Reggie Rogers was convicted Friday in Pontiac, Mich., of negligent homicide in the deaths of three teen-agers in a drunken driving accident. A jury rejected manslaughter charges and instead returned guilty verdicts on the three reduced charges. Rogers faces a maximum two-year prison sentence on each misdemeanor charge of negligent homicide. Sentencing was scheduled for Jan. 16.
